Denis Glennon has backed the use of Hawk-Eye technology, which will be introduced for Saturday's Croke Park double header.

One of the more famous umpiring gaffes of the last decade occurred on Glennon's Championship debut against Offaly in 2004 when his team mate Brian Morley's shot, though clearly wide, was flagged as a point.

Westmeath went on to win the game by 0-11 to 0-10, their first victory over Offaly since 1947, and added their only Leinster title later that summer.

"I suppose if it (Hawk-eye) was there a certain point wouldn't have been allowed!" smiled Glennon. "But I think it's probably the fairest thing to have.

"It's like the soccer, if you're knocked out of a tournament because a goal is disallowed you'd be very disheartened because you do train very hard all year and you work very hard and you make serious commitments and if you went out over a small decision.

"Anything that can benefit the game so it's done fairly I think will be good for the game."
